No vomiting. Just a real full feeling. I've been doing awesome with my fluids and protein till yesterday. I think between these two days I've gotten 7 cups of that.

I don't know how some are able to be so up and Adam so soon. I was a hot mess lol walking laps at the hospital was exhausting

Water, water, water

I was able to eat mashed potatoes at phase 2.

You look marvelous!!! ( in my best billy crystal voice)

I am so excited for you!!! Keep up the good work!!

I'm on a 5 phase food plan. I'm on 2 now ( well, today the put me back to phase 1) and Im a month out on Jan 2. It's good to take it slow and go with what your nutritionist says. Stick with fluids and protein. That's what I did. It's more important to get those in. He protein helps with healing. And the fluids... The more the better

I just put in an order with them. They are #1!!

Thank you for all the responses, it makes me not feel so alone

@@mpr You know, I will. I never thought it would be a big deal till people started telling me I shouldn't tell. I'm going to be honest. My job entails a lot of lifting and weight bearing. I may need help, so it pays to be honest. I'm a nurses aide in NH. I love my patients and I'm sure they will notice a difference. Gosh, I saw my Meme're two weeks ago and she asked how I was losing weight. I told her. Im not gonna lie to my grandmother! Lol

My doc is pretty awesome. I had to do a 2 week pre-op diet, 24 liquid diet the day before surgery and liquids only for two weeks when I had my follow up. I'm on phase two of the diet and it's great. He was like your doc was minus the military act. The way I see it is, it's only going to help me. Your friends doc, yeah, I would think the same way. But elode said, there schooled different and personalities are all different.

You look amazing!!!!

Maybe you have a stricture

All of you look fantastic!! I can't wait to put my pics up when I have an "after" pic lol I just had surgery on December 2

Nashua nutrition is awesome!!! I live a couple towns away from them, they rock!

I was told no NSAIDs forever. Due to the irritation and bleeding they can do to the stomach. But every Dr says different things. But this makes sense to me

Hope were all having a great year!

Those are huge milestones!! No CPAP?? Off meds?? Those are huge! I understand about regular clothes And tying shoes lol

@ proud Grammy Hi! Yes I've had my VSG surgery on Dec 2. I feel super! I'm still on phase 2 diet no biggie though, I'm not eating much as it is so pure is just fine lol Glad your having a great year!

Thanks ladies for the tips They all helped a lot. I saw my surgeon last week and didn't say anything g about lifting, but I am cleared to go back to work on January 2. I am super stoked about that.

I had surgery on Dec. 2. " nothing more that 10 lbs " as far as lifting goes. I was doing great with that till Monday. That's when my help stopped with my 2 and 3 year old. I have been picking my 2 year old daughter up who is 30 lbs, only when its unavoidable. My two week follow up is tomorrow and my surgeon is gonna kill me. I just carried my daughter inside from the car, she fell asleep. It's hard to hold tight to my restrictions in times like that. I'm aware of the damage it can cause and the reasons why the restrictions are the way they are. But, Ug what am I gonna do?

Summer rain I am so sorry to hear this. I feel for you I hope your surgery goes well and my prayers are for a healthy and speedy recovery -hugs

Wow! That is a great loss! I've only lost 11 in two weeks since surgery lol

How far are you out? Have you spoken to your surgeon about this?

It doesn't really hurt, but I do feel discomfort at my incision sites. Since I started holding my children, I haven't moved my bowels either. Coincidence? I've been going everyday up till then
